Chromatics was an electronic band from Portland, Oregon (USA) that formed in 2001. The band consists of Ruth Radelet, Adam Miller, Nat Walker, and Johnny Jewel. Chromatics' early recordings were considered lo-fi, but their 2006 In The City EP introduced a more electronic sound. Chromatics released their music on Italians Do It Better, a label owned and operated by Johnny Jewel. In 2021 Ruth Radelet, Adam Miller and Nat Walker made the decision to disband.
